A cosmetics company in Gaza recently began selling a fragrance dedicated to victory over Israel and named after the signature M-75 missile that Hamas has been firing across the border. "The fragrance is pleasant and attractive," said the company owner, "like the missiles of the Palestinian resistance," and comes in masculine and feminine varieties, at premium prices (over, presumably, the prices of ordinary Gazan fragrances).

Sympathizers can splash on victory, he said, from anywhere in the world. [The Times of Israel, 12-6-2012]

In October, Austrian artist Alexander Riegler installed a one-way mirror in the ladies' room at a cafe in Vienna to allow men's room users to peer inside (in the name of "art," of course).

Riegler said he wanted to start a "discussion of voyeurism and surveillance."

Men could see only the faces of women standing at the lavatories, and he said then that in January, he would reverse the process and allow women to peer into the men's rooms.

(The cafe had posted a sign advising restroom users that they would be part of an "art" project.) [Associated Press via Fox News, 10-22-2012]
